It's AAU ball
This is AAU ball, for crying out loud. I have watched it, but not reffed it. It is not the same, in my opinion, as regular HS ball. It seems to me that almost all players and most coaches have an attitude problem. I have read your discussions on reffing AAU ball before on this board. So, what is my point? Prepare yourself mentally before the game. It is my observation that the refs (and coaches) are disrespected more by the players and fans at these games than during the regular season. Knowing ahead of time what may happen will help prepare your mindset on how you will ACT (not react) in the heat of the moment. I think that will help the overall perception of you, the ref.
